If you’re in CA, you can probably break the lease if you really want to. You might be able to negotiate a rent reduction at least to save you both some hassle.

- whimsicalism 6y agoI can imagine the unit remaining empty for months and then re-renting for $600-$1000 less. I would be on the hook for the empty months as well as the difference between the current rent I'm paying and the rent the new tenant is paying. So, no, I can't really just "break the lease" and I can't imagine why they would reduce my rent.
- dschuler 6y agoHow does it work with the eviction moratorium now? I mean, what would happen if you just stopped paying rent? I suppose worst case the landlord would get a judgement for the rent, which they’d have a very hard time collecting on. Civil judgements don’t affect credit scores anymore.
